"In pris’n I saw him next, condemned To meet a traitor’s doom at morn, The tide of lying tongues I stemmed And honored him ‘mid shame and scorn. My friendship’s utmost zeal to try, He asked if I for him would die. The flesh was weak; my blood ran chill, But my free spirit cried, 'I will.'”

Hymns, no. 29
